12" Indy In Adventure Gear: Raiders Version Discussion Thread

[The Josh]

I am not criticizing factory paint. You can only expect so much when something is mass produced. The color of Luke's tunic doesn't bother me. It's the change in the type of fabric used.

Correct there is only so much perfection you can expect with a mass produced item. When more realize this they'll enjoy their items more. Like I said I'm just the opposite on Luke.

Well at the worst scenerio for me if it's anything like the ANH Han Solo figure the head sculpt of Trevor's is definately still there. It'll just take a repaint to bring it out, I can live with that

The factory paints from SS more than 95% of the time are just fine.

87% of the statistics on the Internet are made up.

90% of all statistics can be made up 50% of the time.

Good one Josh.

I'm sure Indy will turn out great. I have faith in Sideshow. And this one is really a turning point. Indy and Clone Wars Obi are the first two to be in this new mold of what Sideshow will be giving us.... So those two I think will raise the bar in many ways.

 

[The Josh]

Thanks! Though, I can't take credit I saw this on a Direct TV Commercial.

October '08??? WTF???!!!

 

[thedarkknight]

I'd rather wait until October and get an awesome figure than get one now with lots of problems.

 

[Sachiel]

Who says a delay will equal a better figure? I sure as hell haven't seen anything that shows that.

 

[preeny101]

Part of me understands that a delay may result in better quality control but I also want it now!!!

 

[The Josh]

Wow that sucks balls but I'd rather it be this way and get great figure.

 

[preeny101]

True indeed.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

A delay was inevitable. SSC stuff tends to get delayed anyway, but being the first figure on the prometheus pretty much guaranteed it.

 

[JustinLuck]

Do we have evidence that anything gets delayed because of improvements? More likely, things get delayed because the factory is behind on schedule.

 

[Ven]

I want it now, I'm gonna repaint it anyways...

 

[IrishJedi]

October??? JESUS!

This figure may not even ship before KOTCS hits DVD/Blu-ray.



Anything short of perfection....

Kind of how I'm feeling. Not real pleased honestly.

Let us hope your grail figure doesn't end up like Cap Faramir's after a long wait

 

[IrishJedi]

Honestly, you guys won't want to be around here to deal with me if that happens. I'll napalm Sideshow if they screw this one up, especially after a delay.

 

[thedarkknight]

Okay guys. I think some of us to calm down. Yes this SUCKS, but there is nothing we can do about it. Sideshow usually does a good job with figures. Yes, there are exceptions. It happens. We don't need a list of ones that aren't what we wanted. But before condemning them, let's wait and see the figure in hand. It will more than likely be worth the wait.
